Post-flood trauma must be dealt with, say experts

KUALA LUMPUR: The floods that wreaked havoc in eight states including Selangor and several districts in Pahang and Negri Sembilan recently could have a life-altering impact on survivors.

Malaysia’s worst flooding in years, which displaced tens of thousands of people from their homes, damaged property and killed 48 people as of Monday, can have a deep impact on victims, both mentally and emotionally.
